My tattoo looks awful. Considering its supposed to be a memorial for someone I lost and I hate it! .. The color isnt pigmented enough, you can clearly see the lack of skill in the lines.. Kind of reminds me of someone coloring outside the lines , didnt have a steady hand at all . And I have no clue what that sticker thing was they put on my arm after I got the tattoo but it pulled some of the color OUT OF THE TATTOO. Some parts resemble a scab now. Totally not worth it DO NOT spend your money here. And I feel like they charged me double the tattoo isnt even that big. Such a waste of 150$ Now I must get an even bigger tattoo to cover this one because it doesnt look good.

i absolutely love basement ink. ive been here multiple times for koz to pierce me, and dont have any form of complaint. the piercings all turned out awesome and i couldnt be happier with them. koz is super chill and fun to talk to, and walks u thru everything he does, step by step. im planning to have him pierce me more, as soon as my most recent one heels :) ive gone with a few friends to get tattoos from basement ink as welll, and tho i personally didnt get any tats from here, i enjoyed the atmosphere that came with it. (the tatts turned out great by the way!!). deffinately the only place you should consider going to. <3<3

GO TO THIS PLACE GO TO THIS PLACE GO TO THIS PLACE. Everyone makes you feel welcomed! I got my belly pierced here and Koz was very professional about it Unlike some parlors these guys care about your concerns. Any questions I had they answered with detail. I felt safe under their wing!! lol If you are looking to get a tattoo or pierced up I HIGHLY recommend you go to Basement Ink, they are very creative and experienced. The prices are decent as well as the quality and you definitly wont regret it!

I went to Basement Ink to get my belly pierced in February and I had the best experience! I went in a couple of days ago to get a tattoo by Nicole. My tattoo was a black silhouette and the ink ran, after I cleaned it I realized how it was not shaded in very well. I can also see little spots where my skin color is protruding. I am not pleased with the work I have received. I will update my review in regards to how they resolve the situation.

amazing! I first discovered Basement as I was searching for a professional to do my anti-eyebrow piercing. I found a few shops but none of the piercers gave off the same vibe as Koz. Such a great guy! I was only 16 at the time and he made it a point to educate me all about the piercing and its aftercare. Now that Im 18 I went back to get my septum! Such a great place

Koz and Eamon are the best they have done multiple tattoos for me and my husband. We live them and they are more then just artists they are friends to our family they have gone above and beyond service to make us comfortable and to make sure we were okay thanks a million times over keep up the good work. I recommend Basement Ink to any and Everyone. THE MAGSBYS

Ive had +20 piercings by Koz, and never one issue. He is so knowledgeable and patient in explaining everything. Ive had tattoos done by three artists, most recent Ivan, and they all came out and healed amazing. The whole staff is friendly, always easy to reach, and the place is clean! I urge everyone not just on the southside but in the city to check them out!

I came to basement ink to get a tongue piercing, and my piercer, Joey was awesome! He was extremely informative and my piercing looks great! Also, while waiting for my piercer, I looked through binders of the tattoos that the artists created, and was in shock as to how great they looked! I recommend this shop to EVERYONE!

I LOVE GOING TO THE BASEMENT INK. KOZ IS THE "ISH". I HAVE VISITED HIM 3X IN THE LAST YEAR AND WILL NOT LET ANYONE ELSE PIERCE ME. HE ROCKS, AND IS VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE. THE PRICES ARE DECENT TO. I WILL DEFINITELY REFER ANYONE I KNOW TO VISIT HIM AND THE CREW AT THE BASEMENT INK. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK GUYS!!!

I went in this place and inquired about having two of my fingers tattooed. I wanted one 6 letter word on one finger and a 5 letter word on the side of the other finger. The guy told me Id have to wait until next week and that the price would be $110 a finger‼️

Visiting artist was very good did great work and nice. Do not like that on credit machine there is a tip added to it, that should be customers choice. This is the most expensive place I have ever been to.

I got my belly button pierced at Basement Ink over three months ago and havent had any problems with it at all so far! The workers are so nice, and Koz fully explains everything. The prices are great too!

Koz is the most professional and knowledgeable body modification artist in this area. I make the drive from Indiana without a doubt! No one else will touch me with a needle but him. Highly recommended.

Koz is the best. All the staff is knowledgeable and talented, and Koz is seriously the most professional, informed piercer Ive ever met.
